    Ban Top Gear, this countires children need more time for everyday activities like tombstoning of cliffs and mugging grannies!

    (Ok, so perhaps my real feelings on the subject are the exact reverse 😉 Top Gear is the best thing on TV at the moment, and the only show that I rate as ‘must see’)

    I did like the article on the BBC website where Clarkson said he insulted Hammy’s driving and got a smile from him, sounds hopeful for a full recovery.

    Here’s a couple of comments from the people posting on the BBC website under the “Your messages for Richard Hammond” heading:

    Funny how many Top Gear fans seem to be anti-PC anti-Nanny State types. No doubt Clarkson et al know their market.
    I hope Hammond recovers, but I wish this useless programme wasn’t on. Fossil fuels are running out, children, you shouldn’t waste them!

    Whilst this is a terrible personal tragedy for Mr Hammond and his family, I cannot understand why News Agencies and Broadcasters are leading with this story. There are much more important things happening that affect the whole world..a very ‘local’ incident like this should not receive this level of coverage. It shows the shallow, short-term, voyeuristic depths to which News Editors and the human condition has sunk.

    I wish Richard a speedy recovery.
    In the meantime I hope the BBC ends the Top Gear Show. In my view it promotes fast and dangerous driving. The presenters are immature and need to grow up quickly before they are found guilty of causing deaths on the roads in UK.

    What TV presenters do is up to them, but I have to critisize a programme that promotes ‘boy racing’ and I think Richard payed a high price for being able to be a boy racer at his age. He should know better. I loathe Top Gear with it’s unbridled promoting of cars and ‘how fast they can go’. Cars are killers, they pollute and they use petrol. I’d say get rid of the lot of them, there has to be a better way…

    Lenie, London

    Why all the press and outpouring of public grief for this clearly inadequate little man? While I wish him well, I was more concerned to see him wasting the fire brigade’s time and money on a recent ‘best of’ episode when the team blew up a vehicle then collapsed in fits of laughter. Get well soon, then grow up.

    Johnny X, St. Albans

    I’d like to see what these fuckers write in condolences cards 👿

    Pricks…

    How many of these drive *clean cars* you know those wanky little 1.1 litre contraptions.

    I bet half the clunts have big engines 4×4 or another big engined motor.

    Have any of the twats actually watched top gear? The cars they review only the people with shitloads of money will ever be able to afford them.
    How the fark does the the show breed boy racers.
    Every car thats not a £100,000 supercar has gone on the “freezing” list.
    They talk about sad little boyracers all the time in there shitty little cars.

    Did i miss a memo somewhere that said “by telling boyracers there cars are all wank, they look like pricks, and that they are the equivalent to your dogs morning shit… you are in fact breeding more of there kind!!”

    Twats!

    I am not even going to go down the “your killing the earth route” becuase that will get me really fecking pissed off.

    A mate of mine is a copper and he was telling me a story about how some green activists broke into a coal powered power station at Didcot on the hottest day of the year, climbed one of the cooling towers and demended that the press turn up.

    To cut a long story short, the muppets hadn’t taken any water with them and came down after about 3 hours, and my mate and the other coppers said that they’d give the activists a lift to the train station. That wasn’t necessary as they’d ALL driven to the power station in seperate cars!

    The police all had a good laugh about that one.

    Incidentally, after Hammond’s wife appealed for money to be sent to charity rather than in the form of gifts, they’ve raised £130k overnight for a new air ambulance.

    An appeal by the family of injured Top Gear presenter Richard Hammond has led to a flood of donations to the air ambulance which flew him to hospital.
    So far, £130,000 has been raised for Yorkshire Air Ambulance – £50,000 from a single donor.
